The permissions you ask for are likely not possible within CentOS (at least not exactly the way you specify them). You can add ACL permissions to the ext3 file system and use that with samba ... but with these controls, you have read (r), write(w), and execute (x) permissions. There are no ways to allow creating files and not folders ... also, if you can create files, you can delete them. The tool setfacl and getfacl can be used to set permissions. This is a good article to start with: http://aisalen.wordpress.com/2007/08/10/acls-on-samba/ Here are a couple more: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-acls.html You will have to also decide HOW you want to integrate this machine into other infrastructure. If you already have some kind of Directory Service (the newer Widows Active Directory Services, Windows NT type Directory control, LDAP on Linux, Red Hat Directory Server, etc.). You will likely want to make same talk to that service, whatever it is. This is a 2 step process ... set up and get working ACLs, then set up and get working samba (this part will depend on what you are integrating with).
